The Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association (GABA) has released its transfer policy that is to serve as a guide to players wishing to move “freely” between clubs within the association as it continues to implement good administrative structures.
The following is the transfer criterion: (a) Player(s) acceptable transfer periods are (i) January 5- 10 and (ii) July 30-31; (b) Player(s) can be added or signed to a club roster outside of the transfer period providing the player(s) is/are not coming from a registered GABA club.
In relation to ‘b’ above, the club will be required to notify GABA and include registration fee of $1000; (c) all transfer forms must be signed by the club executive, the player(s) leaving said club and the coach/executive of the new club that the player (s). The form must be submitted to GABA before the transfer can be effective.
And finally, upon the satisfaction of the above, GABA will notify Guyana’s Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) of the transfer.
“All matters specific to player(s) transfer or disciplinary action is generally handled by a GABA Select Committee. Please note that player(s) who would have previously left one club and joined another without following the proper method (since the election of this GABA administration) is/are advised to regularise themselves in keeping with the procedure outlined above,” the GABA highlighted in a release yesterday.
